What you'll learn

After completing this course, health professionals will be able to:

  1. Discuss the biological and epidemiological presentation and implications of Lupus, including 10 co-morbid conditions
  2. Recognize 4 common pharmacologic treatments and their potential side- effects
  3. Identify 6 common emotional and psychological correlates of Lupus (e.g., adjustment to diagnosis, long-term coping, interpersonal disclosure, complications related to fertility and family planning, co-morbid depression, and anxiety)
  4. Recognize the importance of a multi-disciplinary team approach to care within this medically complex population and the role that evidence-based psychological interventions, such as CBT and psychoeducation, play in enhancing patient care

Course overview

The Living with Lupus: A Biopsychosocial Approach CE course includes 5 contact hours that provides an overview of the biological presentation and implications of the disease, as well as the associated epidemiology, and psychological reactions (e.g., adjustment to the diagnosis, long-term coping, interpersonal disclosure, family planning, co-morbid anxiety, and depression). The interplay between healthcare professionals and the lupus patient is often too one-sided. Participants in this course will be introduced to tools that the lupus patient can use to build self-confidence in speaking about the disease to others.
